After their old flat becomes damaged, Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti), a young couple living in Tehran, are forced to move into a new apartment. However, once relocated, a sudden eruption of violence linked to the previous tenant of their new home dramatically changes the couple’s life, creating a simmering tension between husband and wife.

"It's another of the director's analytical but deeply empathetic films about modern Iranian society and what separates men from women and the government from its people." - David Edelstein, New York Magazine
